 CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of July 24, 2018 among WESTLAKE CHEMICAL CORPORATION, the LENDERS
party hereto from time to time, the Issuing Banks from time to time party hereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent. 

The parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 

SECTION 1.01.    Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

 “ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. Only Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars may bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate. 

“Additional Lender” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 2.21(a). 

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per
annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate. 

“Administrative Agent” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent and Issuers for the
Lenders hereunder, or, as applicable, such Affiliates thereof as it shall from time to time designate for the purpose of performing its obligations hereunder in such capacity, including with respect to any Loan denominated in an Alternative
Currency, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited and any successor thereto appointed pursuant to Article VIII. 
 “Administrative
Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. 
 “Affected
Lender” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 2.19(b). 
 “Affiliate” means, with respect to a
specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise. 
 “Agent Party” has the meaning assigned to it in Section 9.01(d)(ii). 

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in
effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus  1⁄2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period
denominated in U.S. Dollars on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the LIBO
Screen Rate (or if the LIBO Screen Rate is not available for such one month Interest Period, the Interpolated Rate) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the
NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of
interest pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clause (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base
Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement. 






 “Alternate Currency” means Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and
each other currency (other than U.S. Dollars) that is requested by the Company and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and each Lender. 

“Alternate Currency LC Exposure” means, at any time, the sum of (a) the aggregate undrawn amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit issued in an Alternate Currency at such time plus (b) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements in Alternate Currencies that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company at such time. The
Alternate Currency LC Exposure of any Lender at any time shall be its Applicable Percentage of the total Alternate Currency LC Exposure at such time.

Borrowing. 
 “Anti-Corruption Laws” means all laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time concerning or relating to bribery or corruption, including without limitation the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage of the total Commitments
represented by such Lender’s Commitment; provided that when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment)
represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s
status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination. 
 “Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to
any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or ABR Loan, or with respect to the undrawn commitment fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum determined as set forth below under the caption “Eurodollar Revolving

 For any date of determination, (a) if the Company shall maintain a Public Debt Rating from
only two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch then the higher of such Public Debt Ratings shall apply, unless there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one Pricing Level, in which case the pricing level shall be determined by reference to a Public
Debt Rating that is one pricing level lower than the higher of the Company’s two Public Debt Ratings, (b) if the Company shall maintain a Public Debt Rating from only one of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, then that single Debt Rating
shall apply, (c) if the Company shall maintain a Public Debt Rating from all three of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and there is a difference in such Public Debt Ratings, (i) if there is a difference of only one pricing level between the
highest and lowest of such Public Debt Ratings, the pricing level shall be determined by reference to the higher Public Debt Rating, and (ii) if there is a difference of more than one pricing level between any of the Public Debt Ratings, and if
two Public Debt Ratings are equivalent and the third Public Debt Rating is lower, the pricing level shall be determined by reference to the higher Public Debt Rating; otherwise the pricing level shall be determined by reference to a Public Debt
Rating that is one pricing level below the highest of the Company’s three Public Debt Ratings and (d) if the Company shall fail to maintain any Public Debt Rating from any of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, then Pricing Level V shall

$1,000,000; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated
by Section 2.06(e). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple 

  
 24 







 
of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a
total of 12 Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding. 
 (d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

Houston, Texas time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i)    the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii)    the currency and aggregate principal amount (in such currency) of such Borrowing;

(vi)    the location and number of the Company’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which

 If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving
Borrowing shall be a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.04.    [Reserved] 

SECTION 2.05.    Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time
during the Availability Period, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender exceeding the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving 

  
 25 







 
Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment or (iii) any Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment; provided that a Swingline Lender shall not be required to make
a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans may be borrowed in U.S.
Dollars only. 
 (b)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request
by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of
the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Company. The Swingline Lender shall make the requested Swingline Loan available to the Company by means of a credit
to an account of the Company with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable
Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c)    The Swingline
Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders
will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 1:30 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on a Business Day no later than 5:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on such
Business Day and if received after 1:30 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on a Business Day shall mean no later than 9:00 a.m. Houston, Texas time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such
Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and
Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any
amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted
to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender,
as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for
any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of any default in the payment thereof. 

(d)    The Company may replace the Swingline Lender at any time by providing a written notice thereof to such Swingline
Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent; provided that the 

  
 26 







 
successor Swingline Lender shall have agreed to serve in such capacity and is an Eligible Institution. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline
Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a). From and after the effective date of any such
replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term
“Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lender, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Swingline Lender
hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall
not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. 
 SECTION 2.06.    Letters of Credit. (a) General.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit (which may be denominated in U.S. Dollars or an Alternate Currency as the Company elects pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) as the
applicant thereof for the support of its or its subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the
event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the
applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter
of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing
Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days or such shorter period as the
applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent shall agree to) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing
Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall
be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) (x) the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank at such time
plus (y) the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving
Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment and (iii) the Total Alternate Currency Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Alternate Currency Sublimit. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, reduce the Letter of Credit
Commitment of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided that the Company shall not reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect of such reduction, the conditions set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above shall not be satisfied. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall also deliver to the Company a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 

  
 27 







 (c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be
subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case
of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension, which renewals or extensions, subject to clause (ii) hereof, may be automatic pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit so long as such Issuing Bank shall have
the right to prevent such renewals or extensions at least once in each twelve months period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued; provided that such Issuing Bank shall provide notice to the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to such
non-extension notice date if such Issuing Bank determines not to extend an auto-extension Letter of Credit) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that
any Letter of Credit issued in connection with the IRBs may have an expiration date of not later than five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Issuing Bank agrees that a Letter of Credit issued in connection
with the IRBs may, at the Company’s request, permit the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder, and the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to permit such
reinstatement. 
 (d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of
Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation
in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Banks, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Banks and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided
in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in
respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the
Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (i) 1:30 p.m., Houston, Texas time in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in U.S. Dollars or (ii) 1:30
p.m., London time in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in an Alternate Currency, in each case on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company or the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to (i) 11:00
a.m., Houston, Texas time in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in U.S. Dollars or (ii) 11:00 a.m., London time in the case of LC Disbursements denominated in an Alternate Currency, in each case, on such date, or, if such notice has not been
received by the Company or the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:30 p.m., Houston, Texas time (1:30 p.m., London time in the case of LC Disbursements in an Alternate Currency), on the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Company or the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000 and denominated in U.S.
Dollars, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to
the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by 

  
 28 







 
the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC
Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of
the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable
Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack
of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or
(iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the
Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any
draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control
of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other
documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine
all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of 

  
 29 







 
Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement. 
 (h)    Interim Interest. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date
that the reimbursement is due and payable at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans (or, in the case of LC Disbursements in an Alternate Currency, at the rate per annum then applicable to Eurodollar Loans in such
Alternate Currency for an Interest Period of one month) and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any
Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 

(i)    Replacement of Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written notice from the Company
to the Administrative Agent and the replaced Issuing Bank. The successor Issuing Bank may be an existing Issuing Bank that agrees to assume the replaced Issuing Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall notify
the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and
after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(y) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of
an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such
replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j)    Cash Collateralization.
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the
benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 100% of the LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and
payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the
satisfaction of the LC Exposure. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys
in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of


  
 30 







 
the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an
Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within one (1) Business Day after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 

(k)    Existing Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, each Issuing Bank that has issued a letter of credit
listed on Schedule 2.06 hereto (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party
hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Existing Letter of Credit and the related LC Exposure to the extent of its Applicable Percentage. On and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall
constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof. An Existing Letter of Credit may contain a statement to the effect that such Existing Letter of Credit is issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided,
however, that notwithstanding such statement, the Company shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Agreement for such Existing Letter of Credit and such statement shall not affect the Company’s reimbursement obligations
hereunder with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit. 
 SECTION 2.07.    Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds of the applicable currency by 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. Except in respect of the provisions of this Agreement covering the
reimbursement of Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Company by promptly, but in no event later than 2:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time, crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the
Administrative Agent to an account of the Company maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Company in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. 

(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the
Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Company severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars or (y) the greater of the applicable LIBO Rate (if such amount is denominated in an Alternate Currency) and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for amounts denominated in such Alternate Currency, or (ii) in the case of the Company, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (for
U.S. Dollar amounts) or the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans for the applicable Alternate Currency for an Interest Period of one month (for Alternate Currency amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

  
 31 







 SECTION 2.08.    Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Company may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Company may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Eurodollar Borrowings in an Alternate Currency, which may not be converted or continued. 

(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by
telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Company were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such
telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by
the Company. 
 (c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in
compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and
(iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii)    the effective date of the
election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto
after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If
any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of
the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e)    If the Company fails to
deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company or the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and
(ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 32 







 SECTION 2.09.    Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Mandatory
Repayments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b)    The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that
(i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments or (ii) the Total Alternate Currency Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Alternate
Currency Sublimit. 
 (c)    The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of
any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered
by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a specified transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their
respective Commitments. 
 (d)    Determining U.S. Dollar Amounts; Related Mandatory
Prepayments. 
 (i)    The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of each Alternate
Currency Loan as of the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of any such Interest Period of more than three months, at three-month intervals after the first day thereof, and shall promptly notify the Company and the
Lenders of each Dollar Amount so determined by it. Each such determination shall be based on the Spot Rate (1) on the date of the related Notice of Borrowing for purposes of the initial such determination for any Alternate Currency Loan and
(2) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, for purposes of any subsequent determination. 

(ii)    The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Amount of the LC Exposure related to each
Letter of Credit as of the date of issuance thereof and at three-month intervals after the date of issuance thereof. Each such determination shall be based on the Spot Rate (1) on the date of the related Notice of Issuance, in the case of the
initial determination in respect of any Letter of Credit and (2) on the fourth Business Day prior to the date as of which such Dollar Amount is to be determined, in the case of any subsequent determination with respect to an outstanding Letter
of Credit. 
 (iii)    Each determination of a Dollar Amount pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If after giving effect to any such determination of a Dollar Amount, (1) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments or (2) the Total Alternate
Currency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Alternate Currency Sublimit, the Company shall in each case, within five Business Days, prepay outstanding Loans (as selected by the Company and notified to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent
not less than three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment) or take other action to the extent necessary to eliminate any such excess. 

SECTION 2.10.    Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then 

  
 33 







 
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to it on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount
of each Swingline Loan made to it on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the tenth (10th) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Company shall repay all Swingline
Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Borrowing shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding. 

(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the Company to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount
of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect
the obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e)    Any Lender
may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form, unless such
assignee elects not to receive a note (in which case such assignor shall return to the Company any note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such note, a lost note affidavit in customary form). Upon either
(a) payment in full of the Loans evidenced by any such promissory note or (b) the assignment of such Loans and Revolving Commitments in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof, each such promissory note shall be promptly returned to the
Company by the payee named therein or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of any such promissory note, a lost note affidavit in customary form. 

SECTION 2.11.    Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time
to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section and subject to Section 2.16. 

(b)    The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of Swingline Loans, the Swingline
Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars, not later than 12:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, three Business Days before
the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency, not later than 10:30 a.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (iii) in the case
of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:30 p.m., Houston,
Texas, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a 

  
 34 







 
conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance
with Section 2.09 (subject to any break funding payments required by Section 2.16). Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. 

SECTION 2.12.    Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender an unused commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the unused Commitment (excluding, for these purposes, clause (b) of the definition of “Swingline Exposure”) of such Lender during the
period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued unused commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day
of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All unused commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 

(b)    The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount
of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment
terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate per annum of 0.125% on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the
date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and
fronting fees accrued through and including the fifteenth (15th) day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such day, commencing
on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be
payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c)    The
Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent. 

(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of undrawn commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

  
 35 







 (e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 2.20, the
Company shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12. 
 SECTION
2.13.    Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 

(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing (including all Alternate Currency Loans) shall bear interest at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under
paragraph (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Company hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.13. 

(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the
case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment
of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or CDOR, or if the Loans are denominated in Pounds Sterling, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and
in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms hereof, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 SECTION
2.14.    Alternate Rate of Interest. 
 (a)    If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including, without limitation, because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current
basis), for the applicable currency and such Interest Period; or 
 (ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the
Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company 

  
 36 







 
and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if
the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 

(b)    If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator
of the LIBO Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for
loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated
loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such
related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Rate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.02, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so
long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders
object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.14(b), only to the
extent the LIBO Screen Rate for the applicable currency and such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that, if
such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. 
 SECTION
2.15.    Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement
(including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or
an Issuing Bank; 
 (ii)    impose on any Lender or an Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or 

(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or
capital attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting or
maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any 

  
 37 







 
Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) then, upon request of such Lender or
Issuing Bank, the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered. 
 (b)    If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank, the Company will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered. 

(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company in reasonable detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company or the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error; provided that such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not seek compensation under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section unless such Lender or such Issuing Bank is making such claims from similarly situated borrowers under similar
credit facilities. The Company shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. 

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or an Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company or the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

SECTION 2.16.    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance
therewith), (d) [reserved] or (e) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event,
the Company shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of
such event to the last day of 

  
 38 







 
the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION
2.17.    Payments Free of Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as
required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable
withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then
the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 

(c)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental
Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(d)    Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment
to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to the Company or the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10
days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation
of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be 

  
 39 







 
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or
otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

(f)    Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax
with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii)    Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a U.S. Person, 
 (A)    any Lender that is
a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the
Administrative Agent), an executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and
the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1)    in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S.
effectively connected income, an executed IRS Form W-8ECI; 

  
 40 







 (3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits
of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the
beneficial owner, an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and
the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding
Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and
the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g)    [Reserved]

 (h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its
sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall
pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event
that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require
any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(j)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes
any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 SECTION 2.18.    Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Company shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC
Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim (but without prejudice to the
Company’s rights with respect to any Defaulting Lender). Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein
and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event
such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such extension.

 (b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, 

  
 42 







 
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of
any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Company pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Company consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation. 
 (d)    Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if
the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such
Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e)    If any Lender
shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06(d) or 2.06(e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated
account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any
order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 
 SECTION 2.19.    Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Company is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or 

  
 43 







 
additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or its participation in any Letter of Credit affected by such event, or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, that such Lender is
generally seeking compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so). 

(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (ii) the Company is required to pay
any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Terminating Lender (any such Lender
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), then the Company may, in addition to any other rights the Company may have hereunder or under applicable Law, at its
sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate at par plus accrued interests and fees, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Banks), which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

SECTION 2.20.    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: 

(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 2.12(a); 
 (b)    the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that this clause (b) shall
not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; 

  
 44 







 (c)    if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i)    all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC
Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only (x) to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such
non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment and (y) if the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; 

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected,
the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Company obligations
corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is
outstanding; 
 (iii)    if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv)    if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and 
 (v)    if
all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender
hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash
collateralized; and 
 (d)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100%
covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and Swingline Exposure related to any newly made
Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting
Lender shall not participate therein). 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing
Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such
Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.21.    Increased Commitments, Additional Lenders.
(a) From time to time after the Effective Date, the Company may, upon at least three (3) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), increase the aggregate amount
of the Commitments by an amount not less than $25,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”). 

  
 45 







 (b)    To effect such an increase, the Company may designate one or more of
the existing Lenders or other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender,
increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement with a Commitment of not less than $10,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, existing
Lenders are under no obligation to commit to any Increased Commitments. 
 (c)    Any increase in the Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: 

(i)    at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such increase, all representations and
warranties of the Company contained in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all
respects, and except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); 

(ii)    at the time of such increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
or would result from such increase; 
 (iii)    the Company shall be in pro forma compliance with the
financial covenant in Section 6.09; and 
 (iv)    after giving effect to such increase, the
aggregate amount of all increases in Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall not exceed $500,000,000. 

(d)    An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall become effective
upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Company, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be
increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, (ii) such evidence of appropriate
legal authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of outside counsel for the Company addressed to the Additional Lenders (covering customary legal matters for an unsecured bank loan financing)
and (iii) such evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsection (c) above as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 

(e)    Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21, (i) the respective
LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be redetermined as of the effective date of such increase in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase and (ii) the outstanding Loans shall be reallocated as of the
effective date of such increase such that as of the date of such increase, all outstanding Loans are funded by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase. 

SECTION 2.22.    Extension of Maturity Date.  

(a)    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may request, in a notice given as herein
provided and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or in such 

  
 46 







 
other form as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent (the “Extension of Maturity Date Request”) to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly forward such
notice to each of the Lenders, not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date, that the then-applicable Maturity Date (the “Existing Maturity Date”) be extended to the date
that is one year after such Existing Maturity Date (each such date, the “Requested Maturity Date”); provided that the Company may request such an extension no more than two times after the Effective Date. Each Lender,
acting in its sole discretion, shall, not later than a date 20 days after its receipt of any such notice from the Company, notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its election to extend or not to extend the Existing Maturity
Date with respect to its Commitment. Any Lender which shall not timely notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of its election to extend the Existing Maturity Date shall be deemed not to have elected to extend the Existing Maturity Date with
respect to its Commitment (any Lender who timely notifies the Company and the Administrative Agent of an election not to extend or fails to timely notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of its election being referred to as a
“Terminating Lender”). No Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Existing Maturity Date without such Lender’s written consent, which may be withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion. 

(b)    If and only if the Required Lenders shall have agreed in writing during the 20 day period referred to in
Section 2.09(a) to extend the Existing Maturity Date, then (i) the Commitments of the Lenders other than Terminating Lenders (the “Continuing Lenders”) shall, subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement, be extended to the Requested Maturity Date specified in the Extension of Maturity Date Request from the Company, and as to such Lenders the term “Maturity Date”, as used herein, shall on and after the date as
of which the requested extension is effective mean such Requested Maturity Date, provided that if such date is not a Business Day, then such Requested Maturity Date shall be the next preceding Business Day and (ii) the Commitments of the
Terminating Lenders shall continue until the then-applicable Existing Maturity Date, and shall then terminate, and as to the Terminating Lenders, the term “Maturity Date”, as used herein, shall continue to mean such Existing
Maturity Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (A) the Lenders and the Company of any extension of any Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.09 and (B) the Company and the Lenders of any
Lender which becomes a Terminating Lender (the date of such notification being referred to herein as the “Extension Confirmation Date”). 

(c)    As a condition precedent to any such extension of the Maturity Date on the Extension Confirmation Date, the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Company dated as of the Extension Confirmation Date and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Company approving
or consenting to such extension, and (ii) certifying that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) shall be satisfied (with all references in such subsections to a Loan being deemed to be references to such
extension). 
 (d)    In the event that the Maturity Date shall have been extended for the Continuing Lenders in
accordance with Section 2.22(a) above and, in connection with such extension, there are Terminating Lenders, the Company may, at its own expense and in its sole discretion and prior to the then-applicable Existing Maturity
Date, require any Terminating Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with Section 2.19(b)) all or part of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee (which assignee may
be another Lender, if another Lender accepts such assignment) that shall assume such assigned obligations and that shall agree that its Commitment will expire on the Maturity Date in effect for Continuing Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.22(a); provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent (which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank and the Swingline Lender in the case of an assignee that is not a Lender, (ii) the assigning Lender shall have received from the Company or such assignee full payment in immediately available funds of the principal of and interest accrued
to the date of such payment on the Loans made by it hereunder to the extent that such Loans are subject to 

  
 47 







 
such assignment and all other amounts owed to it hereunder, and (iii) if the assigning Lender is an Issuing Bank, it shall have received cash collateral in an amount equal to 100% of any
outstanding LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or it shall have entered into other arrangements with the Company that are satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit
issued by it. Any such assignee’s initial Maturity Date shall be the Maturity Date in effect for the Continuing Lenders at the time of such assignment. Any assignee which becomes a Lender as a result of such an assignment made pursuant to this
Section 2.22(c) shall be deemed to have consented to the applicable Extension of Maturity Date Request and, therefore, shall not be a Terminating Lender. 

(e)    The Company shall repay in full all Revolving Loans owed by it to any Terminating Lender on the Existing Maturity
Date, with accrued interest and all other amounts then due and owing thereon, on or before the Existing Maturity Date with respect to such Terminating Lender. 

(f)    Each Continuing Lender shall automatically (without any further action) and ratably acquire on the Existing
Maturity Date the Terminating Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, in an amount equal to such Continuing Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such participations but only to the extent that such
acquisition does not cause, with respect to any Continuing Lender, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the LC Exposure then outstanding, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding, to exceed such Continuing Lender’s Commitments as in effect at such time. 

(g)    If the acquisition of the Terminating Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans
described in the preceding clause (f) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks such LC
Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (f) above). The amount of cash collateral provided by the Company in accordance with this clause (g) shall reduce the Terminating Lenders’ Percentage
of the outstanding amount of LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial acquisition pursuant to the preceding clause (f)) on a pro rata basis; and on the Existing Maturity Date, each Terminating Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving
Loans, purchase participations in Swingline Loans, and purchase participations in LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued after its Existing Maturity Date shall terminate. 

(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of any Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section 2.22 and any release of a Terminating Lender’s obligations in respect of outstanding LC Exposure and Swingline Loans shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless: 

(i)    the Company shall have made all payments required pursuant to clause (e) of this
Section 2.22 and Section 2.11; 
 (ii)    the
Administrative Agent shall have received any cash collateral required to be paid by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.22; and 

(iii)    each Issuing Bank shall have received such cash collateral as is required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.22 or shall have entered into other satisfactory arrangements with the Company with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed

 SECTION 7.02.    Application of Funds. The order and manner in which
the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion. Regardless of how a Lender may treat
payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder, payments received during the existence of an Event of Default shall be applied first, to costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender (to the extent that each Lender has a right to reimbursement thereof pursuant to the Loan Documents), second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans to and including the date of such application,
third, to the payment of the unpaid principal of the Obligations, and fourth, to the payment of all other amounts (including fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, in each case paid pro
rata to each Lender in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 The
Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders, Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. 
 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth
herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and
until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 62 







 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company and subject to the consent of the Company (so long as no Event of
Default under Sections 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at such time), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be an Eligible Institution.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company
and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not
investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each
Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the
meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Company and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. 

  
 63 







 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

(ii)    Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as

including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with
the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Company any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the
Swingline Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, or the

SECTION 9.02.    Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank,
the Swingline Lender or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Company therefrom shall in any event be 

  
 65 







 
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which

Swingline Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b)    Subject to Section 2.14(b)
and Section 9.02(c) below, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or by the Company and

or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or amend or waive any other provisions of this Agreement requiring pro rata treatment of Lenders,
without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; provided
further that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.07 or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Company and an Issuing Bank regarding such Issuing Bank’s Letter of
Credit Commitment or the respective rights and obligations between the Company and such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank,
respectively. 
 (c)    if the Administrative Agent and the Company acting together identify any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

the Lenders taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where the party affected by such conflict notifies the Company of the existence of such conflict and
thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected party in each relevant jurisdiction)). The Company will also pay the reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents related to this Agreement (but
limited, in the case of legal expenses, to one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and, if necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where the party
affected by such conflict notifies the Company of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected party in each relevant jurisdiction)). 

  
 66 







 (b)    The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender and each of their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable and documented expenses (including, without limitation, the legal expenses of one firm of counsel for all Indemnified
Parties, taken as a whole, and if necessary, of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions (and, in the case of a conflict of interest where the Indemnified
Party affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected Indemnified Party in each relevant jurisdiction)) that may be incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in
connection therewith) (a) any aspect of the transactions contemplated herein, (b) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, or (c) the actual or alleged presence of
Hazardous Materials relating to any property owned, leased or operated, at any time, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Liability relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent (i) such
claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s (A) gross negligence or
willful misconduct or (B) material breach of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ii) arising out of any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act
or omission of the Company or any of their respective affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than any claim, actions, suits, inquiries, litigation, investigation or proceeding in its
capacity as an agent or arranger under this Agreement) as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) any settlement is entered into by such Indemnified
Party without the Company’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) but if there is a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction in any such proceeding, or if the Company consents to such
settlement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party in the manner set forth above. In the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to
which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Company, its equity holders or creditors, or an Indemnified Party (subject to (ii) above) and whether or not an
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in
connection with its activities relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through an Electronic
System, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings against an
Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject
matter of such Proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent
losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 67 







 (c)    To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be
paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in their capacity as such. 

(d)    [Reserved]

more Eligible Institutions (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and the
Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(A)    the Company, provided that, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment
unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (h) and (i) under Article VII has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, any other assignee (other than an Ineligible
Institution), but the Administrative Agent shall nonetheless send notice of such assignment to the Company; 

(B)    the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be
required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; 

(C)    each Issuing Bank; and 

(D)    the Swingline Lender. 

  
 68 







 (ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following
additional conditions: 
 (A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Company shall be required if an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b), (h) and (i) under Article VII has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment; 

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of
Commitments or Loans; 
 (C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Electronic System as to which the Administrative Agent and the
parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent); and 

(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its
related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible
Institution” have the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural
person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or
(c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 “Ineligible Institution”
means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that,
such company, investment vehicle or trust referenced in this clause (c) shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by
a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its

 69 







 (iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv)    The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Issuing Banks, the
Swingline Lender and any other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v)    Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Electronic System as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption
are participants), the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written
consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.06(d) or 2.06(e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(b), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Company,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Persons that are not Ineligible Institutions (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a 

  
 70 







 
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after
the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of
Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans,
Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 
 SECTION 9.05.    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Company herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit (other than Letters of Credit with respect to which arrangements that are satisfactory to such Issuing Bank shall have been made) is
outstanding and so long as the 

  
 71 







 
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and
any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the reductions of the Letter of Credit Commitment of any Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 (b)    Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as an original executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records
Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent. 

SECTION 9.07.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION
9.08.    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company against any
of and all the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.
The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

SECTION 9.09.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough
of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Company or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c)    Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and
effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Company or (i) to rating agencies. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to its business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to
data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Company after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of

 SECTION
9.13.    Material Non-Public Information. 

(a)    EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO
THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE

“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together
with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

made or satisfied in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than that in which the relevant payment is due (the “Required Currency”) then, to the extent that the payment (when converted into the
Required Currency at the rate of exchange on the date of payment or, if it is not practicable for the party entitled thereto (the “Payee”) to purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency on the date of payment, at
the rate of exchange as soon thereafter as it is practicable for it to do so) actually received by the Payee falls short of the amount due under the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, as a separate and
independent obligation, indemnify and hold harmless the Payee against the amount of such short-fall. For the purpose of this Section, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Payee is able on the relevant date to
purchase the Required Currency with the Other Currency and shall take into account any premium and other costs of exchange.

the Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, each Co-Syndication Agent, each Co-Documentation Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes
of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Company, its stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. The Company agrees that nothing in this Agreement and any related
documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Company, its stockholders or their respective affiliates, on the other. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any related documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are

assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company, their stockholders or their respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the
process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any of the Company, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the
obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and any related documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Company, their management, stockholders, creditors or any other
Person. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and
the process leading thereto. The Company agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the
process leading thereto.
